Pleading
non vult to charge of operating a 'numbers" headquarters
raided by the police last July, Dominic
Olivette, 28, of 444 Royden
street, was fined $100 and given a suspended sentence of six months
in criminal court yesterday.

In
police court the day following the raid Olivette was fined $100 by
Judge Garfield
Pancoast on charges of violating Section 422 of the city ordinances
prohibiting disorderly persons from congregating in a building.

Olivette
paid the fine and was later indicted by the grand jury following an
investigation by Prosecutor Clifford A. Baldwin. Judge Shay,
in imposing the fine, refused Olivette's plea that he be allowed to pay
the sum on installments.

One
other man charged with "numbers' writing was fined $100 with the
privilege of paying at a $2 weekly rate. He is Herbert Lantry, 35, of
519 Ray street, arrested by
Lieutenant Herbert
Anderson November 26. He was held for the grand jury by Judge
Pancoast when arraigned in police court.

If
there’s anything Police Judge Pancoast
doesn’t like it's to have people trying to fool him, he said. So
yesterday Pancoast sent two alleged speakeasy inmates to jail for 6o
days and gave the confessed proprietor only 50 days.

Emil Hatter,
35, of 829 Carpenter
Street, was arrested for violating the ordinance prohibiting
congregation of disorder1y persons on the premises by Lieutenant Herbert
Anderson Thursday. Hatter told the court that he was proprietor and
was in the illegal liquor business to provide for his two children.

"That's
no excuse," said the judge, "you should provide for them
without breaking the law."

He
fined Hatter $50 and sentenced him to 50
days when he was unable topay. The judge then turned to Edward
Mackay, 38, of 531 Ray Street,
and Alfred Brooks, 45, of 700 Pearl
Street [wrong address - PMC], who, Andersen said, were
drunk in Hatter's
establishment.

Both
men admitted having a few drinks, elsewhere, but insisted they were
sober and that they did not buy the drinks from Hatter.

"I'm
good and tired of having peop1e trying to fool me," said Pancoast.
"I don't know what they take me for. I'm going to end it, though,
by giving each of you 60 days."

Unable
to pay a fine of $100, George Young, 29, colored, 954 South Ninth
Street, was sentenced to 100 days when he pleaded guilty to operating a
"wash­boiler" still in violation of the city speakeasy
ordinance. His wife, Ethel, 19, and Annie Fussel, 37, of 614 Chestnut
Street,
alleged inmates, were given 30 days each in default of $25 fines.
